That's What I Said

• 
  On Venus As a Boy...

  I said "Björk is one of the few singers who have crystal clear voices. I'd like to hear a duet with David Crosby."
• 
  On Tadpoles...

  I said "That's three versions of this classic song I've heard recorded, and each one has its own charm. "
• 
  On Celebrity Plastic Surgery ...

  I said "I'm not against plastic surgery. I know that some people have it for obvious but private reasons... after weight loss, to remove loose flaps etc. But I do wonder about some who seem to have it purely for appearances. There seems to be an element of insecurity there, that they will not be as liked (by others, by themselves, or both) unless they do something about their physical appearance. And it's not enough to say they might need it to keep in work. We have a culture of youthful appearance that focuses on the superficial but that has nothing to recommend it. If enough people refused the trend to have PS, it would become less popular and people would be allowed to look like themselves, not like someone they wish they looked like."

  On Biggest Egos in Rock ...

  I said "Back in the 70's when rappers were such as Last Poets, a person's own material possessions weren't used to measure that person's worth. Now, rap has a big C at the front of it. egotistical self-important Crap. When you compare them with grandaddies such as Umar bin Hassan, rappers today are sensitive little pussies whose agenda doesn't exist outside of their wallets unless it's bling and flash."
• 
  On GetBack's Guitar Riff Hall of Fame...

  I said "Sometimes I think there's only one thing that Chuck Berry ever did: 12 bar snatches using the standard barred E shape, with that familiar 5th-6th yoyo on the fifth string. Yawn. One of the smallest abilities with one of the largest egos."
• 
  On Biggest Egos in Rock ...

  I said "I can't understand why people listen instead of doing it themselves. (Thankyou Robt Wyatt for that true snippet)."
• 
  On Self-Indulgent Albums ...

  I said "Sure, there are self-indulgent albums. But what one sees as self-indulgence, another sees as genius. For those who forget that, maybe we shouldn't rule out the possibility of there being self-indulgent flip books, too."
• 
  On Self-Indulgent Albums ...

  I said "Yup, of course there are self-indulgent albums. But one man's self-indulgence is another man's masterpiece. For those who forget that, maybe we shouldn't rule out the possibility of there being self-indulgent flip books, too."
